Georgia House Bill 30 dangerously undermines our First Amendment rights and labels criticism of Israel as antisemitic.
We need you to take action TODAY and email your State Senator and State Representative to oppose HB 30. https://t.co/Lt4H2qJnpb #gapol
Statement from one of the Palestinian shooting victims, Hisham Awartani: “Any attempt like this is horrific, be it here or in Palestine…
“Had I been shot in the West Bank where I grew up, medical services which saved my life here would have likely been withheld by Israel”
When I hear Biden say that Jewish ppl need Israel for our protection, I’m reminded that western leaders use Israel to shirk responsibility of protecting Jews in their own countries.
Why should I need a US military outpost in the Middle East to protect me? This is all propaganda
Palestine TV journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed with his family in an Israeli airstrike. His colleague Salman Al-Bashir removes his protective gear marked PRESS on air saying: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed. Mohammad was here half an hour ago (reporting). Now he lies dead with his family in this same hospital.”
Cop City Referendum — A federal court judge ruled in favor of the Cop City Referendum this morning. The judge found that the requirement that signature gathers be City of Atlanta residents violated the first amendment rights of the five plaintiffs.
For seven years, we've worked to ensure that anyone arrested exercising their right to protest can make bail and afford lawyers. We've helped hundreds of Atlantans through every step of the process.
Now we're asking for your help.

My god. The autopsy shows bullet exit wounds through both of Tort's hands, indicating that their hands were raised when they were murdered.
"The autopsy further reveals that Manuel was most probably in a seated position, cross-legged when killed."

Reflections on the #AtlantaForest defender Manuel Teran (“Little Turtle”) the protester killed on Wednesday who was @DavidPeisner’s primary source for our story “The Forest For The Trees.” Tonight, David’s perspective on this week’s tragic news. https://t.co/EO18ggil6y
Last August the Atlanta Police Foundation sent the mayor a new proposal for Cop City that effectively dropped almost half of their original deforestation plans. This, too, is delusional - no Cop City will ever be built - but it's yet another marker on our path to victory.
